As WP's senior editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'BloodRayne' Expands All-Star Movie Cast

Similar to the popular video game, the film is based on a sexy, supernatural huntress named BloodRayne (Loken), who is an unholy breed of human and vampire. She is an explosive force with gymnastic dexterity and has an intense lust for blood and action. Trained by a secret agency called the Brimstone Society which hunts down and eliminates supernatural threats around the globe, BloodRayne is confronted by the deadliest of all creatures, the powerful and evil Kagan, King of the Vampires (Kingsley). Davis portrays Sebastian and Madsen is Vladimir, two of the greatest vampire hunters. Rodriguez plays Katarin, who runs the local Brimstone Society chapter.

BloodRayne is set in 18 th century Romania, where the film will actually begin principal photography later this month. The BloodRayne video game debuted in 2002 and a sequel is set for release this October.

Rodriguez is perhaps best know for "Girlfight," though her other credits include "SWAT," "The Fast and the Furious" and "Resident Evil." Matt Davis has been featured in "Blue Crush," "Legally Blonde," "Pearl Harbor" and "Tigerland." Michael Madsen has extensive credits, including "Kill Bill, volumes I and II," "Narc" and "Reservoir Dogs."
